Interesting, just as long as in the future we can still make the difference between real people and robots. Otherwise it will kinda be weird for people who are seeking for a girlfriend, for example.

Well if we couldn't tell the difference then they'd have to be close enough to work as a girlfriend...

That s a very strange thought though

Yeah true. I meant for... ahem... more elaborate relationships.

they might be able to make them very realistic... wouldn't that be included in not being able to tell the difference

This is starting very strange trains of thought in my mind

I hope the appropriate robot parts aren't made of hard plastic or something, though O.O.

They'd have to be made of a realistic feeling material.... Wonder when these will be made... The idea scares me

Indeed. I can see the many disappointed people, though, when they get a GF and do things with her, only to find out later that they're not even a real person.

Someone I know says these already exist. they just don't act very human.

This is very NSFW

EDIT: I wonder how my friend knows this... she's a girl also...

If they sing perfectly like Hatsune Miku, well you may have a doubt.

Other than that, very interesting. Lol at evil clones of themselves.
